Thanks for the input, i saw the glo but thats really expensive for one bulb. I only have a 20 gallon but the nova 2x24 is really crappy and i need at least one more bulb. but 4x24 seems like excessive light.

You could always omit a light from the socket to give you the outcome you are looking for.

I agree about the Glo light. I wouldn't waste my money.

Fishneedit as mentioned previously is a good fixture for the cost. You could maybe pick up one of those and adjust as needed

My brother in law has single T5 HO Helios fixture to provide additional actinic over his reef tank. It seems pretty nice. I don't think it was too expensive either.
